Bearded Axe - Antiqued

The Hanwei Bearded Axe, Antiqued (XH1073N) is inspired by traditional Viking axe patterns, designed to deliver both historical authenticity and functional strength. Known for their wide cutting edges and distinctive “beard” design, axes like this were capable of cleaving through helms and armor with devastating effect. This reproduction captures that heritage while offering a rugged antiqued finish for an authentic look.

Forged Steel Head and Hardwood Shaft

The axe features a tempered steel head with a sharp, functional edge mounted on a 30 1/2” hardwood shaft. Built for balance and durability, the bearded profile allows for both powerful strikes and finer control when choking up on the handle. The antiqued finish gives the piece the appearance of a well-worn weapon straight from the battlefield, enhancing its value for reenactors, collectors, and enthusiasts alike.

Made by Hanwei

Produced by Hanwei under the direction of Paul Chen, this axe reflects the same attention to quality and craftsmanship found across their renowned line of swords and polearms. Suitable for display, reenactment, or training (under proper supervision), the Hanwei Bearded Axe offers a striking combination of history and performance.
